Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said she plans to introduce legislation that would strip pesticide companies of the liability protections from cancer lawsuits granted by the Supreme Court on Thursday morning.
“These companies purposefully omit labeling information knowing their products cause cancer and other health problems,” Luna wrote in a post on the social media site X on Thursday afternoon. “It is time they are held accountable. Enough is enough.”
Her statement comes just hours after the Supreme Court issued a devastating blow to the Make America Healthy Again movement in siding with agrichemical giant Bayer in its case contesting cancer warning labels for its flagship weed killer, Roundup.
Key MAHA voices were quick to praise Luna’s announcement.
